IMPROVEMENT IN CULINARY VESSELS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 158,155, dated December22,1874; application filed December 3, 1874.

To all whom it m ay concern:

Be it known that we, JOHN H. WEARE and NATHAN WEARE, both of Cincinnati,Hamilton county, State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and usefulImprovement in ()ulinary Vessels, of which the following isaspecification:

Our invention is designed as an improvement upon the culinary vessel forwhich Letters Patent No. 154,305 were issued to us August 18, 1874; andconsists of a peculiar device for connecting the detachable plate to thebody of the vessel, by which easy, inexpensive molding is provided for,and a firm fastenin g obtained.

Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cookingpot for stove purposes,embodying our present improvement, the cover or lid of the vessel beingremoved to expose the interior. Fig. 2 is a detached perspective view ofthe parts embracing the improved fastening. Fig. 3 is a section, showinga modification in the construction of the fastening for the upper end ofthe detachable plate. I

A is the body of the vessel; B, the vaporduct; 0, the lifting-bail;andD, the dumpingbail. The lid or cover necessary for the vessel, torender the vapor;duct B operative for carrying off the vapors arisingfrom the boiling liquids into the stove, is removed in order to exposethe construction of the fastening for the detachable plate E. At thebottom of the vapor-duct and on each side of it a groove, to, is moldedand formed in the vessel, as shown, and the bottom of the detachableplate E is provided with a projecting lu g, e, on each side to match andfit into the grooves a. The lugs are inserted in the grooves by an entryof the same at the bottom and a sliding motion of the plate E upward.This form of fastening for the bottom of the plate E, while it isperfectly firm in the support of the-plate E, gives every facility formolding without coring, and without difficulty in withdrawing thepattern from the mold.

.At the top of the duct I project from the body of the vessel a stud, I,which I prefer should extend entirely through the plate E, as shown inFig. 1, so that a small nail or pin, f, through it outside of the plate,will suffice to secure the plate at this point. But, as a modificationof this, the projection F may be shorter, and the pin f may be insertedunderneath it, as shown in Fig. 3, the upper edge e of the plate, inthis case, being dovetailed into the top of the vessel, the grooves abeing necessarily of sufficient length to enable the plate to moveupward until the dovetail rim is in place for lowering into the dovetailrecesses in the top of the vessel. After such lowering into place thepin f is inserted to prevent the plate from rising, the lugs 0 stillremaining in the grooves. The indentations 0, when the lid of the vesselis on, supply air for cooling off the cover, by'traversing under it,.and act to keep up the draft into the duct B. The apertures 12 at thetop of the plate are fully shown and described in our previous patent,heretofore referred to.

The bail-ears d are formed to project from the side of plate E, and comein contact (when the plate E is in place) withthe periphery ot' thevessel A. This formation gives an open ear for the insertion of the bailwhen the slide is out, and enables the ears to be molded and castwithout coring.

We claim- 1. In combination, with the vessel A, having detachable slideor plate E to complete the vapor-duct B, the projection F, pin f, lugse, and grooves a, operating substantially as and for the purposedescribed.

2. The combination of vessel A, plate E, dumping-bail D, and projectingopen bail-ears 01, substantially as and for the purpose stated.

In testimony of which invention we hereunto set our hands.
